Chat/IRC Section

Overview:

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) allows many users on different systems at different locations to converge into one "room" and have a discussion, similar to a conference call or party line. IRC is used both for entertainment and serious discussion purposes.
If you're looking for a program to connect with a friend or group of friends directly for a chat, look in Chat - Direct.
